I found the lemmyverse super confusing for the longest time, especially how so wildly different looking sites would interact.
I see every so often people talking about more than one account on different instances.
Why should i, or why shouldnt use more than one?
What benefits would I, a very average user gain from it?
Yeah, one main and one porn.
This could be considered a support question but it’s less of a “how do I?” and more of a “why should I?” so leaving it up.
Having more than one account is really convenient. You could still browse the fediverse if your instance goes down or something else happens to it. Also you might want a new account because you instance federates(or doesn’t) some other instances. But this can also get out of control. I have 5 Lemmy accounts, 2 kbin accounts, on kbin.social and artemis.camp, so I can use artemis, and 1 account on mastodon
But you can’t sync your subscriptions between your account, right? If using the second account as backup you’d have to subscribe to your communities twice.
I think someone shared an extension to sync them in this thread
I’m newish to the whole fediverse thing myself. I’ve made 3 lemmy accounts on different instances mainly due to lemmy.world being a bit unstable and Lasim making it easy to migrate communitya.
Also made a kbin, mastodon and because I read a lot a bookwyrm account.
Couldnt you do that with one account since its all the fediverse?
Nope I don’t think so but the 3 lemmy accounts might be overkill I’ll maybe delete my original lemmy.world one. I think 2 are needed in case an instance has issues.
I see, thank you
